Backup new Render folder?

03 Feb 2021, 06:08

Hi Karl,

I noticed the new Render folder.
Till now I only backupped the two folders 'content' and 'config'.
I assume that X3 creates the images inside Render on the fly so that the only reason to back it up is speed.

Do you recommend to backup the Render folder also?

Correct. It's the image resize cache.

Not really, as it doesn't strictly serve any "backup" purpose. If you intend to re-deploy on another server or in another location, then yes it may have some performance benefits, but personally I wouldn't include it for a "backup".
